Question

Every pie [sold at the farm store} is baked on the premises.

What kind of phrase are the words in brackets?


A. appositive phrase


B. verb phrase


C. participle phrase


D. gerund phrase

Answer 1

The answer is A. Appositive phrase is basically describing or renaming the noun in either long or short combination of words. For example: the insect, a cockroach, is in my room. A cockroach is the appositive phrase.

Answer 2

Answer: C) Participle phrase.

Explanation: a participle is a word formed from a verb and used as an adjective or a noun. A participle phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle and its modifiers (direct objects, indirect objects, or complements). In the given sentence, the phrase in brackets (sol at the farm store) is an example of a participle phrase (the participle is "sold") that acts as an adjective that is modifying the noun "pie."
